i would need to grab this string which could change length CAACEdEose0cBACYxggh75LrXW4vkjFlw0M8c4zIf6J7bIlt8xxlpyC6Qla3a36ll2QxNZBbZBERceG6qI5uVwpZAmI05MuQeWA0DoVUqSXPppmvRi2pe7XhN2wo0nLZAPIX9ZAbgqv8DEFFkU06CdFtUiCewZCsENCz5RLp1DeCbzvvT1EjaReKabwcLJOEbgZD

as far as i am aware the number of characters leading up to the string stay the same but im not 100% sure on that im thinking maybe count the "" quotes and grab the string inside the 11th and 12th quote on that line.

Yes, I have many ideas, this is something that I am doing almost daily, there are a number of ways to do that, split and regexes are the most likely candidates, but there is no way I can say how to do it without having a pattern, and a pattern can't be derived from a single line of input.

If you know something on how these records are constructed, please provide as much information as you can, and, if you don't (actually even if you do) please provide a more significant data sample (at least a few dozens lines).
